Stack Overflow Research: MongoDB Is the Database Most Wanted by Developers

MongoDB is a nice shortcut for when you don’t want to deal with a schema at the beginning but that’s all it is - a shortcut.<p>Turns out schemas exist for a reason and will save your ass later down the line, and I’m not even talking about Mongo’s dubious transactionality, atomicity or lack of good tooling.

&gt;&gt; The document data model and MongoDB Query Language, giving developers the fastest way to innovate in building transactional, operational, and analytical applications.<p>I&#x27;m pretty skeptical about this. It seems they kinda advertise it as traditional OLTP database.

I say go for it, junior devs. Stable, mature, scalable relational databases will still be here when you’re tired of recovering corrupt databases and implementing second-rate locking and transactions in application code.

Was All-In MDB stock at $28. Glad I insisted my own opinions

except on HN, where PG is the only thing for everything always :D the world is a nail. where&#x27;s my hammer?
